The job is done. I used a mini tubing cutter. Blew through the line although the I.D. is very tiny. New brass fittings and new compression collars. Ran the tubing through the original 4 hole grommet in the firewall and to the gauge. Put 2 loops in the tubing under dash side. Original tubing didn't have any loops but there was a lot of slack in it. I put in the loops rather than cut the excess off. Easy task and the fittings work perfectly. Total cost for 4 feet of tubing, 2 brass compression collars and the 2 female fittings $3.67 including tax.
